Saw it on the TV news also, and I rarely get to watch the news these days. I don't ever take Tylenol, brand or generic, so it's not an issue for me.
It's safer and smarter for the company to eat the cost of the recall rather to deal with the inevitable product liability lawsuits if they hadn't. Remember the recall math from Fight Club? It's not just about cars.
The doc is pretty much right, though, about metal filings just passing through one's system without damage. I think I've mentioned before I had a patient that ate razor blades ... old style safety razor blades, no less ... and the standard of care for that is to just let them take their little adventure through the digestive system.
